- Mudskipper twister with prop adapter kit running 6.5” aluminum prop
Boat is a 12x32 riveted flat bottom
Top speed by gps : 2 people 14mph
: 1 person 18 mph
This video has been the number one help in me choosing to get a twister for my 13 horsepower Honda. I've been wanting to get a twister but half the people try to slam them saying that the shaft will break and blah blah blah. I don't run mud, I don't run weeds, all I need is something that will get me through shallow water in my local River and creeks. Looks like the twister kit with a adapter for a two blade prop is the way to go. I don't mind a long tail, but the length of them is a little ridiculous for the places I'll be going
I had a swamp runner with the 85in shaft and it is a pain in tight areas. The twister has lasted me through 3 years without issues. People slam them because they regret not getting one. The shaft has a 1 year warranty iirc. Get the twister bro
@@sbranham86 I did get it. Had it out 3 times without any problems. I've already ran it though the sides of a flooded river zig-zagging between honeysuckles and up a creek that eventually got to about 8" deep before we bottomed out. It pushes my 1542 tracker about 17mph solo and 14 with 2 men, cooler, etc. Very satisfied
That’s a sub dude! Nice job Mudskipper can sit on it and twist as far as the company but if it works it works! I will get one for the channel one day
Found an old aluminum flat back canoe I'd like to put one of these motors ,you guys should get an award for putting the kit thru hell ,lol, a true testimony on how tough the twister is. thanks for posting!
Done it for the mudskipper free 3 props but of course I could never get it to upload so I just put it here. Hopefully more videos coming soon. The twister is getting tilt and trim next
"This is where a smart person would go slow" WFO! Cool video thanks
Man i cant wait to get my kits n motor so i can go mudding where my short shaft cant go.
I just ordered a twister for my gheenoe I think it'll be a blast
I highly recommend getting the prop adapter kit. The 3 blade is almost useless In shallow water. They are a lot of fun. They will go anywhere
@@codylanning1524 they're out of stock right now but I do plan on getting the kit
@@turneynicholas good to know..
As of 10/24/22 still out of stock..
Did order the centrifugal clutch for the long tail ..$185 delivered.....
Binge watched all your videos. I have a 17' CC, and a 1032 but neither can hunt the river I am wanting to access (safely). I just bought a cheap beater 1232 with the shallow sides, real light. I am planning to put the 212 on it with the mud skipper kit. Any words of advice? From what I can tell, I need a leaning bar/post, extra props in the boat, what else?? I stood up in the boat and it felt real tippy, but you seem comfortable back there driving, I have to think that is due to the leaning post. Thanks!
A grab bar makes all the difference in the world. In my early videos, that grab bar is an old folks walker. It worked good
Subscribed! I have the same size aluminum jon boat, and am currently researching which mud motor set-up I want to put on it. I really like the Twister, but I can't decide if these really do hold up over miles and time. Yours sure does run along well, but has it been durable and dependable?
Ended up selling it. Never had an issue though. I upgraded to the 459 and a surface drive. My advice is go to the 420/459 what ever you do. Little heavy but well worth it. The small block (212) is almost a joke if you have any weight with you
@@codylanning1524 That is certainly something to consider. Thanks. 👍
You think the twister is a better setup then the true' long tail surface drives? I was worried that i would not be able too "mod the twister", and change prop sizes, and or do a stage 3' kit on the engine.. or heck i guess i could grab a 7-8hp harbor freight or clone engine and bolt it on if i really need too get up river rapids faster.. But 13-14mph would be perfect. but wouldnt mind if i could get it up too 15-18mph.. Think thats possible with one of these?
this def' help me choose next motor i want for runnin up the river.. shallow water, rocky bottom, but shouldnt matter, with the surface drive setup. I was coinsidering the "true- long tail" strait shft, but i like the twister for the fact its a bit shorter, and thats less weight, and also prop stays more "square in the water, instead of down on and angle.
prob be better id imagine in swift river currents too keep prop strait as possible.
Only thing i was wondering is about the prop, I think these come with a 3- ear, 1 size prop? or are there other prop size options, ?
I seen the full' long tails have a 2 ear prop, and different size options.. Are there other prop options for the twister setup?
im running same boat size about, and close too same gear/weight. What would you do too the twister too get a cpl more mph outta it? and oranything you would add too the setup too make it better? thou' it looks darn good, comparred too a regualr outboard.. i cnt wait too get oneand get it down on the river, and go up the shallows were nobody else goes! haha
awesome video man. shows how tuff theses are..
Best part about these is, no water pumps, cooling, no mixing gas, and all that other pita crap you gotta do with a regular outboard..
and, If it blows up, ill steel the motor off my oldmans log splitter, air compressor, or snowblower.. ahhaha.
I highly recommend the twister. I bought one last year and I could not be happier with it. The true long tails were way too long for the skinny Creeks that I wanted to run. When I bought mine it came with a stainless steel 3 blade prop. I purchased the two blade prop conversion kit at time of purchase because it was a little cheaper to do it that way. All of your questions about props can easily be solved with the conversion kit. You get more top speed, less vibration with two blade props. The kit will also come with three props (sizes vary depending on kit). You can very easily gain a few more mph buy fine-tuning your prop size and adding a stage 1 kit to whatever motor you're using (free-floaair filter, bigger jet, free-flow exhaust). I have a Honda 13hp (actual 11.7hp) with a stage 1 kit and it pushes my 1542 tracker 18mph when I'm solo with no load. Drops to about 13mph with (3) kids and a cooler. IT GOES EVERYWHERE THAT I'VE TAKEN IT from silty soft mud to
@@donduck6195 lol yea i ran the 3blade prop first day. found it all out formyslef. The 3blade props,.. well got too go out on river got too go places i never could before, but cavitation, slipped, and didnt like speed.. 3blade be great pushing big heavy boat, lower rpm..
BUT, ordered the 2blade props, cpl diff sizes, I got a twister clone kit off ebay with 200 motor.. seems be almost same kit other sell.. got the 7" 2blade prop too start, tapped it for M16X2.0, Added set screw 2 m16 machine washers.. NO b.s it dbbled, almost trippled the speed..
Got 15mph w/ 2ppl.. alone id say i got 18mph. lol was havin too much fun too check, almost scary in a lill 32" boat..
Got a #1 prop, or 6.5"hi speed" gonna try that next.. see how it does. Just did a air filter kit for now.. mite do a mild cam, 1x size up on jet ,lill exhaust mod. debatting on a mikuni carb clone vm22, and govener delete... Think ill just do stage 1x kit, maybe mild cam, get rid of plastic cam in it.. change oil after every 2-3 tanks.. and mess with props for now..
Thought about puttin a 390cc on there but there 1" size pto shafts.. i think the twister kit i got is 3/4".. havent found any adapters that go from 1"-3/4" shaft.. ahh ill play with th 200 clone a while. till i get bored an orr start taking 2 ppl with me then go up too a bigger kit. lol
thanks for the content and info.
@@justinherdman87 could you post the link to what prop you used ? I have the twister clone with GB200 as well and need a 2 blade
What manufacturer and size is your boat?
The boat is a 1969 model. No name. Even the title just says aluminum for make. Wish I knew. But the boat is a 12’x32”. Just guessing but empty hull, I would say 120lbs or so.
